Uploaded images disappear when blog draft is saved

I uploaded pictures, they appear in both media library and in the post I am trying to write - but when I hit "Save Draft" they disappear while text - if there is text - remains in place. Any idea what's the matter?

I'm having the same problem. Hitting the "update" button after I've added some pictures to my gallery, all pictures have didappeared. They're still in the media library, but not on the published page. Maybe wordpress is too difficult for me... very frustrating!

Yesterday, I got around the problem by deleting all unattached images I'd previously uploaded to the media library. Instead of trying to attach photos from the media libray, I created a new page and uploaded the photos again.

I will not try to add or change any existing posts or pages ever again. That's when the images disappear and have to be re-attached. I just have no time for this.

It seems inconceivable that it's not possible to upload lots of images to the media library in advance and then pick them from there at any time to furnish pages and posts.

But maybe it's just that I haven't understood the tech side of wordpress yet.

thanks for looking into this. I started Firefox in Safe Mode (as suggested in the other thread) - and it works. People should be able to see the test pictures in the latest post now. I uploaded from the Media Library.

So we'll only have to find a way to make things work in "normal" mode.

did not get around to trying disabling the add-ons and then re-enabling them (I'll do that tomorrow morning, it's now 1120 hrs here). But I can report that the problem does not seem to occur with Safari 5.1.7.

(Ghostery) In Options > Blocking Options, for the 3pes tab, I clicked Select All, then Save, and repeated the process in the Cookies tab. So, now I see "1119 total 3pes (1119 blocked)" and "566 total cookies (566 blocked)".

I logged into my WordPress.com blog dashboard, and Ghostery shows that Quantcast and "Wordpress Stats" are blocked. Capital P! (screenshot)

On the Add New Post screen, the same two are blocked.

On the Edit Post screen, I inserted an image from my Media Library, and the image displays in my visual editor. For good measure, I switched to the text editor, saved the post draft, and after it refreshed the page, switching to the visual editor still displays the image I inserted.

I appreciate the support. Ghostery 2.8.3. seemingly isn't available from http://www.ghostery.com/download, for whatever reasons. I'm on 2.8.2. However, the numbers of blocked 3pes and cookies are the same (1119 and 566).

I did not yet create a new Firefox profile (frankly, I have yet to find out if I want to do that).

And the whole thing does not work: Ghostery keeps finding four trackers and blocking them seems to cause the problem. The workaround is whitelisting WordPress and the Empire of Lights - but that's not yet a satisfactory solution.
